Increases blending time, making blending of colors and detail brushwork easier.

Mix with Liquitex acrylic paints and mediums to retard drying time up to 50%.

Fluid consistency, made to be used with Liquitex Soft Body Artist Color and Soft Body mediums.

May also be used with Liquitex Heavy Body Artist Color and Heavy Body gel mediums, however thickness of paints and mediums will be reduced to a more fluid consistency. Archival

A fluid that slows the drying time of acrylic paints and mediums by up to 40%. An absolutely essential additive if working in drier climates. Mix into the paint when on the palette to slow the skinning-over of paint and increase blending time. Should not add more than 25% as there is no binder and it can weaken the stability of the paint film when too much is added.

Your acrylics larder staple - Liquitex Slow-Dri Fluid Retarder 118ml

Always have some lurking. You might think it a little heavy on the pocket. But 1 bottle lasts for ages. I only just bought my second bottle 3 years after the first.
A real life saver when working with thin paint for blending without pigment graininess. Galeria range is a good fall-back but has a slightly thicker viscosity and feels a bit more "slimey". Jim Lomas (Colchester, United Kingdom) on 28 Aug 2014
